Review by Scott Yanow
Guitarist Jimmy Ponder's trio date is very much in the style of the classic mid- to late-'60s soul-jazz sessions. His double-time version of "God Bless the Child" is a bit reminiscent of Richard "Groove" Holmes' hit version of "Misty," and the other standards are all interpreted with swing and soul. Ponder has an appealing sound that blends in well with organist Gene Ludwig and drummer Cecil Brooks III and results in accessible ensembles. Although few surprises occur, none are really needed, for this style of music always pleases organ fans and lovers of swinging soul-jazz.

La fecha del trío del guitarrista Jimmy Ponder está muy en el estilo de las sesiones clásicas de soul-jazz de mediados y finales de los 60. Su versión a doble tiempo de "God Bless the Child" recuerda un poco a la exitosa versión de Richard "Groove" Holmes de "Misty", y los demás estándares están interpretados con swing y soul. Ponder tiene un sonido atractivo que combina bien con el organista Gene Ludwig y el baterista Cecil Brooks III y da como resultado conjuntos accesibles. Aunque se producen pocas sorpresas, ninguna es realmente necesaria, ya que este estilo de música siempre complace a los aficionados al órgano y a los amantes del soul-jazz con swing.
